Ranting From the Snow Globe!!

It Is a Michigan Tradition!

It is March first, and I am officially done with Winter. However, seems like Old Man Winter is planning to over stay his welcome again this year! Fifty degrees yesterday, and now this white crap today!

Sure, sure it looks pretty until you have to interact with it


Now I drop this random photo of Iggy here because he feels neglected and left out. See I haven't put him in a blog for a while mainly because @countrygirl does not like to see him. Can you believe that? However Iggy feels that she might like him better if she can imagine him saying in his best Humphrey Bogart imitation, "Here's looking at you, kid".

Awww, don't you just want to pet on him?

The flakes really are like the size of geese feathers!

Good thing these are in the studio, and not outside freezing!

So welcome to MyCrappyDay! Maybe that should be a new tag LOL?

Thanks for stopping by!

So you bought pink tulips as well!! See? We can agree on some things :)

I was wondering though, are you related to old-man-winter? Or?? is it just a coincidence that you have the same first name?

I believe you sent him to our place and we have about 10 inches of snow. Wet heavy snow. The kind that gives heart attacks to the seniors of this world (ie me...and the mister).

If I had a lizard....I'd probably put it outside. I hear they love the cold.

So. I'm happy to introduce you to old-man-winter and his daughter jane-frost.

they don't like lizards, they told me

They like #mycrappyday as a tag, but not lizards.

LOL I knew you would love the shout out! LOL

Well your comment did bring a smile to my face...especially about the 10 inches of snow. Why knowing someone else got hit harder than we did just brings a warm glow to my heart and an ever so slight smile to my lips lol!!!

Next thing you know #mycrappyday will be trending LOL :)

For sure!! #mycrappyday could be used to promote all of my scary friends....yes, I think so.

You should see the snow coming down!! It's very pretty but way too much. I can imagine if this keeps up all night we'll be snowed in and I won't be able to take my dog to the groomer - and boy does she need it. Her fur/hair is way too long and she stinks - she rolled in something foreign.

I always never love an Iggy shout out. Always Never. I do like attention though. Maybe Iggy should get his own account and I can put that NFSW or whatever it is on the tag for you.

Lol, a totally goodlooking old man- winter and daughter.

hehe...scary too!

I'm with you wrt bidding winter a fond farewell. But, wait, there's more...
The Northeast is apparently getting Bombogenesis. WTF is that? I have no idea, but it's knocking on my door!!!

Yikes! I read the link and it doesn't sound too good! I hate high winds coz there is nothing worse than losing power in the winter!

Hopefully it is one of the usual over hyped storms! Fingers crossed for you! Batten down the hatches!!

"...until you have to interact with it"

Day-um straight, that!

Beautiful to look at; don't wanna go outside and have to go anywhere in it, fer-sure...

😄😇😄

@creatr

You are going to hate me ... but we had our first really lovely spring day ... let me send you some vibes:)

Of course, you sent us the snow so you could get the nice! I get that lol.

I meant I would send you some spring vibes ... geez. What kind of evil do you think I am ... lol:):):)

sir i like your face style.

Well thank you :)

Aww I've never seen Iggy. How adorable. Send the snow my way. I'll take it with much appreciation. :)

Oh yeah Ben has had Iggy the Bearded Dragon for close to 10 years I would say. He has really been a nice pet. Always very sociable and quite the looker too... Here is a color shot I did.

Thanks for your post
Wow ! It is crazy!! I wonder how Iggy fells about this weather?
I love the video, the snow flecks are so big!!!U5dt8BFauhjGURqh8Rn38guHXV9gmrZ.gif

I dont think he would like to be out in it LOL! Iggy likes it hot!

I know they say snow isn't that nice because of the very cold weather but I still would love to be able to see it in person and feel it in my skin. hahah! Hi Iggy! You are so cute in that picture. I wonder why they neglected you.

It is fun to feel the snow flakes fall on your nose!

hey! Listen, I'll send my husband right up to shovel all that crap. He's insane and actually misses this stuff ... I dunno.

It's nice to see the oldtimers tag is still in use. OH Hey that reminds me! Did you notice I actually did a treetuesday? Yeah I may have posted it kind of late. ... (/me Looks innocently at the ceiling)

Those are nice tulips! I got some daffodils to show off. Still in my phone though mind you. Not anywhere near Steemit. And I think the ones living in the yard are due to go from rain riddled to frozen crisp by nightfall tomorrow. Time will tell.

Ok ttyl. Enough with the rambling.

Thanks for letting me know you did post it! I liked that edit!

Thank you Paul!

Yes they really were. We dont usually get them that big!

Beautiful pictures friend, it is certainly a beautiful place :D

Thank you so much!

Couple more rounds, but winter is on the ropes!

i can guess ,this air how much be cool..!

Yes, too cold!

I can see why you called it the snowglobe! That's an amazing amount coming down in the video! Hope you get some spring weather soon!

Today I am officially done with Winter!!! Hello Spring! :)
Iggy is so lovely!

I feel no inclination whatsoever to pet it. Sorry 8-).

Haha..mycrappyday would be a fun tag..who hasn't have crappy day? Lol..

We are getting the same treatment as far as the weather goes here in Detroit too..It is miserable out there now :-(

Yeah I am 2 hours west of the D and the power lines are covered in ice!

I hear you on that sir! We are still being battered by "The Beast from the East!" here in the UK. We don't get much snow where I am in all honesty, but this time it really has come down alarming! Freezing as hell too ;-)

I saw a poster online advising people to walk like a Penguin; the whole arms out to the side, feet at 10 and two etc. just to get around without slipping to your untimely doom!

And a beautiful tradition..thanks for this @old-guy-photos

That's pretty good, Iggy doing the Humphrey Bogart thing.

Amazing pictures and traditions ! hahah
I would like to enjoy the snow at some time, but for now where I live, there is a 0% chance that I will do it since I live in a more tropical country.
Right in this last post you can appreciate it "Here" Thanks for sharing @old-guy-photos

Sorry guys, we are just getting ut of a terrible heat down here - the ways of nature. Resteemed

Yee haa, the joys of winter. I do think it's lovely, but do NOT like driving in it any more. Just too much trouble. Whinge whinge. So I'm with you on that one.
And Iggy, I like lizards. My sister used to have a huge iguana that lived in her kitchen. His name was Iggy too. But he ran away all the time... Always the same knock on the door from the neighbors...."You missing a lizard". I swear the thing had 127 lives. How big is your Iggy again? (I'm lazy, I know you've said before. But I'm lazy. Did I say that already?)

When you live by The Great Lakes, you have to expect dumpings of snow all Winter @old-guy-photos
It's known as "the lake effect" in meteorology.
Good news is you get to reap the positive benefit of cooler air in the Summer months from the same effect.

@old-guy-photos,

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Don't complain: Here in Florida, the air-conditioner has been running non-stop! My electric bill's going to spike.

Ahh ... and back to those damn tank-tops and flip-flops. :-) :-)
